The £87m phase of St John’s Hill also features landscaping, a wild garden, a play area and a central public square for the community. Energy efficiency measures include photovoltaic panels and a district heating system, contributing to Wandsworth’s aspiration to be a carbon neutral borough by 2030. Around 10% of homes will also be wheelchair accessible.

Tom Williamson, senior development manager at Peabody, said: “More top quality, sustainable and affordable homes are three years away at St John’s Hill and will be a great addition to this part of London.

“Like Phase 1, the brick design incorporates detailing and public artwork, creating unique and distinct buildings of the highest quality.

“There will be more open space, gardens and trees than before, and the new community centre will be a hub for local people to gather.

As well as providing 109 homes for low-cost rent, the 54 extra care homes will provide additional support for the most vulnerable in the community. Something we are very proud of.

Ajaz Shafi, managing director of John Sisk & Son’s Southern business division, added: “We are delighted to be selected to complete the next phase of this landmark project for Peabody, building on the quality of workmanship and design from Phase I.

“These homes will enhance the living standards for the people who live there and provide a focal hub for community interaction with the completion of the new community centre.

“We expect to be on-site later this year and will be working hard to ensure we deliver this development to the highest standards in collaboration with our supply chain partners by 2022.”
